There is a mix of tables and couches, so you can pick whatever style of seating you would like. There is even a small courtyard outside to sit too.

The coffee was really good! Service was great as it didn't take long at all to take our order and get us our coffee. There were also tons of sweet treats to pick from. They all looked so delicious, and I sadly decided to pass on them... next time!

The drinks are excellent and you can actually taste the coffee. Nothing feels watered down. We tried the banana mocha, honey lavender latte, Mike's matcha, and lemonade, and every one of them delivered on flavor. You could really pick up the banana and lavender notes, and the lemonade leaned more tart than sweet, which made it super refreshing on a hot day. Mike's matcha had a perfect balance between ube and matcha; neither overpowered the other and the ube added just the right amount of sweetness. The staff were incredibly kind and transparent, even letting us know ahead of time about an ice shortage that would add an extra 5-10 minutes to our wait. They were so genuine and apologetic that it honestly made the experience feel even more welcoming.

The coconut definitely comes through and gives it a tropical taste without taking away from the matcha. For lunch, I had the tomato basil soup with a side salad and garlic herb cheese bread. The soup was good and probably my favorite part of the meal. The bread was a little too cheesy for me, but overall everything paired well together. The atmosphere really stood out. It's cozy and welcoming and feels like the kind of place you can settle into for a while. I'd definitely come back. Since the Island Matcha was seasonal, I'm already eyeing the strawberry matcha for my next visit.

It means so much to have found my new go-to coffee spot when I'm back in BR. The space itself is perfectly warm, clean, and welcoming. Everything is curated to make you feel like you belong.

The espresso was nicely dialed in, the notes were present and the barista served it wonderfully. The cinnamon roll was warmed up and freshly iced before being served. The matcha was so good, and a great choice to takeaway as a treat. The staff here really goes beyond to provide excellent service. This is my new go-to coffee spot in Baton Rouge. Thanks Coffee Joy!

People made a big deal about the Bermuda Triangle back in the day and as time went on, we realized…read morethat it was kind of fake thing. But one thing that is more true than the Bermuda triangle is the Baton Rouge Bridge Crossing traffic back up. It's like as inevitable and predictable as anything can be and I am getting to enjoy it firsthand today. Always a traffic accident always a lane closure. Now usually I do the farm market Road north of Baton Rouge to avoid it but today I needed to go this way. The I-10/I-12/110 Triangle maybe? And I knew that my first stop would be French Truck location. I wanted coffee for the rest of my trip as I am traveling with my brewing equipment. I sampled their Festin, and their single source, Kenya, and Ethiopia and I decided to get a bag of the Ethiopia because it has that profound blueberry flavor profile that I like in small doses, thinking it was be a perfect coffee to share with my friends in Florida. And now on to lunch at Mestizo. A wonderful staff and ambiance. Great coffee shop music. I will bet that if I waited long enough, Tame Impala would come on the sound system. Lol.

Despite not being a big coffee enthusiast, I have come to appreciate all they've brought to the table as a serious coffee destination. As a venue, it's a beautiful spot with a good amount of outdoor and indoor seating. Their creative use of branding with lots of yellow, distinctive fonts, and merch are displayed throughout the store, becoming a central theme of their decor. Coupled with natural lighting, plenty of seating, good WiFi and a cool display of their brewing process, it's evident they've taken big steps to ensure their venue is one of the least ordinary establishments in the city. They honed their craft in New Orleans and have managed to do the same here. Their New Orleans iced coffee was dark and potent, while their Japanese slow drip aka Oji drip iced coffee was pleasantly delightful. The cafe au lait is classic and a nice rendition compared to the many places that do the same throughout the state. The macchiato, cappuccinos, and americanos also deserve their own mention. Like any quality coffee place, they sell all kinds of different coffee brews by the bag both online and in store. They also sell food as well ranging from breakfast items to salads and sandwiches. Avocado toast seems to be a big hit here, but they have a wide range of open-faced toasts that includes smoked salmon, pimento and prosciutto. I am definitely eyeing their croissant sandwich for future visit. Prices are standard foodflation but I think the coffee and the ambiance will always be the central focus. They have a good amount of people on staff and therefore the waits are never too long. Customer services on point and the bathrooms are very clean. Parking is available in the back and there is limited street parking as well. With locations in Memphis as well as the OG in New Orleans, they should be very proud that they've done well in Baton Rouge.
